We can parametrize a field easily in keyword view itself..then why " Data Driver " parametrization is required?

I will tell you this with the help of Flight Reservation application itself..

Most of the fields in the Flight Reservation application like Agent Name, Password, Fly from, Fly to....etc.. can be parametrized in the keyword view itself..

But when you try to parametrize the Class of ticket..(that is First / Business / Economy,,and it is option box)

It is not possible to do it in Keyword view..In such case we have to go to Options --> Data Driver.

There it will show you the existing fields that can be parametrized and also you can add new fields, that you need to parametrize like 'class'...

for that what you have to do..

First spy on the class option box...using object spy..and find its name..

then add the same name in the Data driver using 'Add' button..

And continue with the steps to complete the parametrization..
